You will be responsible for strategic and operational advice in all matters relating to prescribing and medicines management across Lanarkshire and be a member of key decision-making prescribing and governance committees. You will work closely with senior managers and clinicians across Lanarkshire to influence and implement change in prescribing practice, promoting high quality, safe, cost-effective, rational and evidence-based prescribing. 

The post holder will be a UK registered pharmacist with experience in prescribing data analysis, policy development and delivery of sustained systems of prescribing management services.
